directions

And any dressing -- I prefer creamy sweet ones.
Add any other of your favorite salad ingredients, take out any that you don't like.
As for how much of what to put in… -- just use your judgment, how many people your feeding.
To prep for the swap. Cut up lettuce, spinach, onions, peppers, celery and chicken. Add in cranberries. Toss in a large gallon zippy. Send almonds if you like them in a separate zippy incase the receiving family does not like them. Send with 1 can of pineapple, and 1 can oranges, and enough dressing for the salad. Tie up all ingredients in one grocery bag so it all stays together. Label.
To Serve: dump salad bag into large bowl allong with almonds if you like. Open cans of fruit, drain, and dump in salad. Pour on dressing to taste and toss.
P.S. Remember to specify in the database that this is an unfrozen meal.

WOW, what a great salad! I didn't make the salad with the amounts listed, so I halved the recipe for the two of us. The only things I didn't use were the red and green leaf lettuces. I used Iceberg and spinach. It was absolutely delish. With the cranberries, I added some golden raisins. My boyfriend likes carrots in his salad, so I added that to his, and we both had ranch dressing. Thanks for the wonderful Friday night dinner! :)
